Five Little DucksFive little ducks

Went out one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack, quack."

But only four little ducks came back.

3,2,1

Old mother duck went out one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack, quack."

And all the five little ducks came

back.

Do your ears hang low?

Do your ears hang low,

Do they wobble to and fro

Can you tie them in a knot,

Can you tie them in a bow

Can you throw them over your

shoulder

Like a continental soldier

Do you ears hang low

Elephants BalancingOne grey elephant balancing

Step by step on a piece of string

Thought it was such a wonderful stunt

That he called for another elephant

………………..2, 3, 4, 5

Five grey elephants balancing

Step by step on a piece of string

All of a sudden the piece of string broke

And down came all the elephant folk

I have ten little fingers and they all belong to me.I can make them do things, would you like to see?

I can shut them up tight

Or open them wide.

I can put them together

Or make them all hide.I can make them jump highOr make them go low.I can fold them quietly and hold them just so.

Wiggerly WooWiggerly Woo, Wiggerly Woo

Let’s all do the Wiggerly Woo,

Wiggerly Woo, Wiggerly Woo,

Woo woo, Wiggerly Woo.

Swing your arms, round and round,

Tap your two feet on the ground,

Clap your hands in front of you,

That’s how you do the Wiggerly Woo.

CHORUS

Wiggle your fingers all about,

Shake your head ‘til the hair sticks out,

Kick your legs like dancers do,

That’s how you do the Wiggerly Woo.

CHORUS

Leo the Lion

Leo the lion is the king of the jungle and

his jaws are big and wide. ROAR!

Leo the lion when he roars it’s a warning

that you better run away and hide. ROAR!

(repeat)

Better run away and hide.

ROAR!
